12:00 am
we are at a great cross roads in american history. >> we are excited. >> can you feel it? >> u.s.a.! >> would you like to alter your congress? would you like to alter the presidency? >> the tea party reflects the feeling of a lot of americans that they are getting the shaft. >> u.s.a.! >> they don't get it. >> we are not trying to take back our country. we are our country. >> this woman does not stand a chance to get elected. what is she gonna do to promote jobs? >> we could not have two more distinct choices for the american people this . >> democrats need to say, this
12:01 am
is what we did. this is what happened, this is what we're gonna do. >> i'm hear to say house republicans are back in the fight for conservative values. >> it is time for us to bust the beltway bubble. >> we are gathered today at the beginning of the end of the pelosi-led congress on capitol hill. >> sean: with just 43 days left before the november elections democrats have found enemy number one delaware's christine o'donnell. after her primary tuesday they wasted no time orchestrating a smear campaign against her. friday bill maher led the charge trying to suggest she dabbled in witchcraft as a high schooler. o'donnell gave the response. >> bill wanted ratings, i gave him ratings. this was high school! >> sean: nonetheless, maher's fellow liberals took his cue and continued to attack
12:02 am
o'donnell and the tea party phaeft that backed her so strongly. >> when you an -- >> when you call her on something she says everybody is playing negative politics. >> i think it is going to be bad for the republican party. >> some of these core positions of the candidates don't resonate with independent and moderate voters. >> the wicken voight could be an real -- vote that could be a value. >> reporter: the mainstream media of course there to grease the wheels. >> she said of all things she had once dabbled in witchcraft. >> inside the republican party the chatter of civil war among democrats the feeling there's an opportunity here. >> what about christine o'donnell, does she ensure that a democrat holds that senate seat? are candidates like a christine o'donnell helpful to the democratic party? >> sean: joining me with analysis of the democrats' latest tactic is author of the "new york times" number one best seller take back america.
12:03 am
dick morris is here. first of all, i find this interesting. i think you are gonna see the polls they show she is behind. i think this is all going to boomerang back. thoughts? >> she is behind because she has just been through a firestorm. i think she has a very good chance to win. i think that the criticism of her misunderstands the fundamental concept that this is not an election about social values. if this were an election about abortion, gun control and gay marriage, then okay, if you weigh over right you are going to -- if you are way over right you are going to alienate tacks in the middle. if it is economy, taxes and holding deficits, the issue is pure, i am pure -- you are not an extremist, you are a purist. you are not a radical, you are rereliable, credible. o', believeable. i believe that sharron angle and miller from alaska, and christine o'donnell from delaware are far also likely to increase taxes and far more
12:04 am
likely to cut the deficit than their 0 points if. >> sean: how is it you have the president of the united states admits, while candidate, he writes in his own book, he admitted to snorting cocaine. admitted to drinking. to all the bad behavior. hung out with bill ayers and jeremiah wright all this stuff nobody wanted to pay attention to. she is in high school. okay a friend of hers was in witchcraft. she dabbled for two days now this is a big issue. >> hillary clinton as first lady of the united states of america had a seance to summon eleanor roosevelt. >> sean: good point. >> in is not a high school prank. if you are running for senate, governor, president, even mayor i want to know all about you. if you have held jobs. history, the whole bit. but the function of the united states senator is to vote. i want to know are you gonna vote for the stimulus spending
12:05 am
and she won't. are you gonna vote for tarp? and she won't. vote for gm bailout? she won't. will you appeal health care? she will. couldn'ts her democratic opponent will vote wrong on all that. >> sean: this is what you have done for many years my advice if she wants it, my advice to any republican stay on offense and not get pulled in by the media that is debt set against you and wants to lay gotcha and wants to talk about masturbation and issues that have nothing to do with the campaign. >> that doesn't preclude having fun. if i were o'donnell i would do an an ad and say in high school christine o'donnell had friends who were into witchcraft. coons has friends into big spending and deficit spending. which is worse? deficit spending as adult or witchcraft as a 17-year-old?
12:06 am
>> sean: no reason not to have fun and run funny ads. it was interesting "the new york times" say obama aides -- >> it is witchcraft in the background, the song. >> sean: are you done with your -- just checking. they want to attack the tea party movement again. then they denied it. obviously, it had to be true somebody leaked it to the "new york times". my question is, didn't they try this going after me and rush and levin and talk radio and fox news. and lashing out at the tea party movement before. now that's going to be a strategy? >> i have something new which is everyday, every morning i will have a new commentary on dickmorris.com about the election. the one i taped for tomorrow morning makes the point the democrats have no strategy. last week vote against republicans because boehner is in for the special interests. now vote against them because the tea party is too extreme.
12:07 am
the amazing thing is there is no democrat arguing for the stimulus or for obama care or for cap and trade. they are orphans. this legislative package the most dramatic passed in recent history is orphaned. >> sean: this is a classic election. you want more government, higher taxes, more of washington involvement in your life or not? i it seems to me that this has now become simple and basic. go back to basics. the differences, are you better off than you were four years ago when nancy pelosi took over the speakership? >> you don't need there can be other factors that make you worse off. the question is do you want stimulus, obamacare, cap and trade, tarp? if you do, vote democrat, if you don't, vote republican. it is that simple. >> sean: do you think in the delaware race, back to that, do you think republicans are now hurting? this is what has happened. lisa murkowski now wants to run as write-in, joe miller
12:08 am
will join news a minute. charlie crist, another sore loser. mike castle won't endorse o'donnell, he's a sore loser. to what extent these republicans hurting republican chances? >> well, they are hurting. if i were christine o'donnell, i would say the establishment of the democratic and the republican party don't like me. i'm doing something right. the whole idea is that the tea party is cleansing the republican party even as it is helping empower it to victory. >> sean: and winning. >> that's right. i have a movie i just did with citizens united called battle for america. it is the closing argument for the election victory in the midterm elections. newt gingrich is in it, ann coulter is it, i'm all over it. takebackamericamovie.com and it will rile your liberal friends. >> sean: beckel is in the next
12:09 am
room he's getting riled up now. i can see through the walls. >> coming up establishment gop senator goes only where one senator in the history of the united states has gone successfully before in a desperate bid to get he reelected. would you like to see president obama in person? it would cost you a mere $30,000. that and more, [ water ] hey, it's me water. check this out. boo-yah! shazam! h2...o! ydrolicious! magic bananas! it's the first one click faucet filter that removes 99% of lead and microbial cysts. adios contaminos! ♪ one, two, three, four ♪ ♪ you say ♪ flip it over and replay ♪ we'll make everything okay ♪ walk together the right way ♪ do, do, do, do
12:10 am
>> sean: sarah palin turned heads last week in a high
12:11 am
profile speech in iowa. a new poll could give indication what might happen if she were to take on the press in 2012. according to rasmussen 54% say their views are closer to sarah palin's than president obama. only 40% admitted she side with the president. gop senate candidate joe miller is straight ahead. [ joey ] we need to talk to you about this "dedicated claims rep" thing. okay, well... calling yourselves "dedicated"? we're all dedicated, okay? the entire website team worked late every night this week
12:12 am
look at sanjeev. he's a mess! what? no... guys, we're called dedicated claims reps because we each stay with an esurance customer throughout the automobile claims process. is not because we think we work harder than you. well, you don't. [ sanjeev ] am i a ss? [ joey ] you slept in the vending machine... [ male announcer ] want a great deal on car insurance? go to esurance. lord of the carry-on. sovereign of the security line. you never take an upgrade for granted. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay th mid-size price. i deserve this. [ male announcer ] you do, business pro. you do. go national. go like a pro. >> sean: as the midterm elections continue to creep
12:13 am
closer conservatives across the country are uniting to send a resounding message to the gop establishment. no more politics as usual. tea party candidates have shocked the republican system with big primary wins across the country, sharron angle in nevada, marco rubio in florida. christine o'donnell in delaware and joe miller in alaska. miller losing opponent lisa murkowski refuses to bow out gracefully. she has launched a write-in bid. if history is any indication her chances are slim to none. only one senator has been elected in a write-in vote, south carolina's strom thurmond in 1954. earlier today on fox news mike pence had this to say: party candidate reminds me of the play last night in the colts' game where the player for the giants threw his
12:14 am
helmet into the stand stands. it didn't effect the outcome of the game. i don't think her candidacy will effect the outcome in alaska. i think joe miller will be elected. >> sean: joining me now joe miller. welcome back. thanks for being with us. >> thanks sean for having me. >> sean: first of all, what do you make of this? you won in a free, fair and open election. just like in delaware, just like charlie crist in florida, seems like lemur could you ski is a sore loser. your reaction? >> it did surprise us -- surprise us she went back on her word. this is like all -- they have a difficult time releasing power. >> sean: i think they think the people got it wrong? who i'm -- what i'm beginning to see, especially in delaware, the people that voted christine o'donnell now find themselves under attack.
12:15 am
even in that case you had mike castle sending out a column that went out the people of delaware got it wrong! is that what it is? >> well, i think it is a question of ideals. part of it is power. the senator went back to d.c. the sat after she declared a write-in bid and met with lobbyists to pump more money into her cam pwhaeupbl. -- campaign. whether the federal government or the state ought to be the driver's seat. >> sean: what do you make of murkowski's statement she says now she was the victim of a smear campaign? >> that's disingenuous we standby every statement we made in our campaign. every time we heard there was a complaint about misconduct the record we were careful to issue a press release that documented our claims. what we said was what she is demonstrating her position to be she a liberal.
12:16 am
embraced now by the democratic party or many in the democratic party if you watched her announcement friday she had state legislators from the democratic party. today the democratic candidate for governor endorsed her. >> sean: it seems to me, in the end -- i don't think she is going to be successful in hurting you or your campaign in the end. there's always the potential. when charlie crist ran as an independent against marco rubio because he couldn't win in the primary there was the possibility he could siphon off enough republican votes hurt yo and electric a democrat. do you think they are selfishly putting republican seas in jeopardy? i think they are. >> it is a self-centered move no question it is a risk it could split the vote. again what we are seeing based on what she is dog now and her past record this race has
12:17 am
become not joe miller against one liberal but against two. we aren't terribly concern about the outcome. she has announced the gloves are off. we want this to remain about issues. whether or not government should continue to grow. whether the states should be more in the driver's seat. >> sean: she attacked senator deaf mint who call her a hypocrite. she singled him out saying he may be waging a civil war within the gop. that seems to be the narrative of the media. mediaia wants to point out there is a little -- media wants to point out there's a little battle between incumbents that lost and the fact that no democrat wants to run on health care, stimulus, budget, debt, deficit and most don't want to be seen with barack obama. that seems like a far greater conflict than anything in the fey party movement and the republican party. >> i agree. in fact the -- republican
12:18 am
party at its platform melds directly with what folk in the tea party want to see this country become. the question is whether or not those that then the foal of the party embraced their government are ready to welcome in this new message. obviously murkowski is not. she rejected the will of the largest number of republican primary voters in the history of the state of alaska. she is so focused on not being able to relinquish power she is going to continue to ignore what alaskans and other americans are calling out for, reversing the >> greta: of government. >> sean: joe miller, congratulations on your win. we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you sean. >> sean: it is the administration's last-ditch attempt to save the democrats.

12:26 am
o'donnell and the host of candidates out there in competitive races are focused on winning. the message is resonating with the people. what i saw to those who lost primaries let's come together now and focus on the fact this is something greater than you're ambition and than your -- the seat that you hold this, is about the direction of the future of the country. there is reason why democrats aren't talking about health care or running from the president or claiming and trying to reclaim bush days as the boogeyman. reality is that the last 18 months, democrats who have led by the way in the congress since 2006 -- have taken our country in a direction that the american people are rejecting and come november, it's coming home. it's coming home in a big way in a wave going to be people pou yerk not government control. not government decisions on the lives and businesses of our country. >> it's interesting to me. they keep shifting strategies. first it was this election going to be about another
12:27 am
referendum on george bush. then, it was class warfare. then, it was attack john boehner. now, it's now they want to say that the republican party is wholly owned by the tea party movement. you told me you're meeting with tea party organizers. this tells me that, you know, what do you think of the straj ji? >> the response is that it's stupid. i mean, why? why? this is the administration coming to bring us together. this is kumbaya time. yet every strategy they put out here is you know, attacking a leader boehner dwo.ing after individual republicans. but most especially going after americans citizens, average moms and dads, joes and janes out there stood up to say enough is enough. we don't want your obama care. we don't want control of our

car industries and insurance companies and banks leave us alone. let us cut our path. for the past year i've been working with a lot of tea party activists just every day folk who's have the same interests that republicans and conservatives that. to change the game. to move us in a new direction focused on empourerment, ownership and opportunity. it's going to be a real jolt to the administration in november. they look up and see a different class of people coming to washington. >> sean: we had eric cantor and paul ryan on the program. it's a question i've been asking for months. there has been talk about a strategy putting together commitments to america. they confirmed they're going to do that. "the hill" reporting they're going to put it together but not something that candidates goring to have so-to-sign on to or pledge to do. have you heard anything about that? i think that might be a

12:46 am
think? >> i think she -- >> sean: what did you think? >> she is saying what a lot of americans are saying. bill-paying moms sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out how to make ends meet. they are so frustrated. where are the jobs? nobody can get a raise, advancement. people are so frustrated. obama voters are incredibly disappointed in the way he's performed. >> sean: that's what makes it so interesting. this was an obama supporter, voter who was deeply disappointed. democrats can run on health care, stimulus, debt, deficits, budgets on world affairs. i don't see one issue they can run on. >> sean, he came into office in the middle of this financial crisis. the beginning of this recession. it has within a long time he's had a while to deal with it. they've spent a lot of money that's been the subject on the table for 18 months.

what this woman is saying, what is there to show for it? there's still anxiety and discomfort in the country among middle class voters like her and obviously among the private sector. corporations are sitting on piles and piles of -- -- >> sean: waiting for the republicans to get elected. >> they are not investing it. and he won't change his policies. >> sean: what is interesting bob, you will admit this, they made certain assurances to the american people. when you overpromise and underdeliver it is a bad mistake. >> expectations are key to politics, win and lose politics. expectations were running incredibly high at a time when you couldn't possibly deliver. >> sean: he made those. >> understand what this woman feels like. i've said it before and i will say it again. i have defended barack obama over and over and will continue but i feel like sometimes the only fire hydrant at the westminster dog show. >> sean: i was hoping you

[ talking over each other ] >> the banking system, investment banking system -- >> bob, listen the republicans do not expect government to create jobs. government should create the environment of low taxes, smart and lessened regulation, so that individuals can go out and innovate. look at our creative economy. this is what we have to protect in this country. we have to make certain that government creates the environment and gets out of the way. >> you republicans want less regulation of the crooks on

>> sean: we continue our great american panel. seems like republican women, conservative women are open to smear, they get attacked time after time. governor palin, christine o'donnell, you can run through the list of conservative women, michelle back man. perhaps you have been through it yourself -- michelle bachmann. perhaps you have been through it yourself. >> it does seem to happen for whatever reason. conservative women seem to be the ones that get attacked most often. >> sean: why do you think that is? >> i'm not sure exactly. but it does seem to be a pattern. with christine o'donnell i
12:55 am
found it amazing -- i think most americans would say they identify with someone like her. who has struggled and has sought to work through a career and i think they identify with her. i think that's why she is running well. >> sean: it is going to be interesting to watch in the fall. >> i have a little bit of a different view. think the democrats have decided the tea party is a potent force they've got to do something about it. it has been all over the news the past couple of days about what are we going to do? the guy who signaled what they were going to do is governor ed rendell of pen -- of pennsylvania who said they these tea party people are extreme. marginalization works if you don't fight back. christine o'donnell is going to have to start talking about what the tea party agenda is, which is economics, spending and growth. >> sean: they went after talk radio, fox news, people that
12:56 am
attended town hall meetings, unamerican, tim mcveigh wannabes, all these ridiculous things that were said. >> they are trying to make independent voters nervous. >> sean: leading in the elections [ talking over each other ] >> when you look across the crowd it is predominantly female. bill paying moms who have had it. they say christine o'donnell doesn't have a resume. let me tell you something, men may get on the trajectory and go straight to success, most women take time off for children, they are in a job, out of a job. >> she has more problems. think the witchcraft thing is although, she does bear a striking resemblance to harry potter's girlfriend, older, it will backfire if you keep on it, it can backfire. you have to be careful with it. on the other hand she has other problems.
12:57 am
using campaign money to take care of her own expenses. this woman is not going to win. the question about the tea party dan, i agree with you on this, the tea party does not invent this movement going on in america. they grabbed hold of it. it has been there for a long time. they are not crazy people them are energized people, i will give that you. they are going to vote mostly republican. i don't think you can make them crazy. let's not make them more than they are. they are not a movement that created this movement they grabbed a wave. >> sean: i brought up all the issues, barack obama admitted he snorted cocaine. did blow to quote him. all these things about his past associations i won't mention the names because your head will explode. that didn't matter. christine o'donnell is a teenager in 1997 on an idiotic bill maher episode suggests i dabbled in witchcraft and it becomes the biggest issue in the country as if it matters. why all of a sudden past
12:58 am
statements, associations barack obama, this was recent stuff. >> the american people want individuals who are going to be truthful. who are going to level with them. who are going to washington, d.c. and vote against higher taxes. vote against increased regulation. who are going to get this government spending under control. the american people have had it. they know that washington has a spending problem. it doesn't have a revenue problem. that's the kind of change they are looking for. >> it is what that lady was saying to barack obama in the previous segment. that is the most powerful issue in america right now. if christine o'donnell can get back on to that, i think she trumps all of this other junk. >> sean: i agree with you. hang on, i think she needs to control the message. stay on offense. stop answering these idiotic answers and get a good team around her. then start looking at the beaded marxist. >> why are you wasting any more time on this woman. she not going to win this race. sarah palin brought harry reid
12:59 am
back into this race because you've got somebody that i could have taken you out there you could have beaten him by 30 points this woman angle will probably lose to him. >> she will win. >> sarah palin and that group -- >> sean: where are you on the election right now republicans take the house? >> right now the republicans take 45 to 46 seats. there's still six weeks left. i'm not going to comment on blow myself or anything else. because i think that glass houses are dangerous things. but, having said -- >> sean: is this a purging, cathartic show for you? every week you have to admit to something new in your life. >> you always set me up, because -- >> sean: i do not want to hear about this stuff any more. >> then i will get off this acid flashback i'm on right now >> sean: of course i want to hear whatever you have to say beckel that is all the time we
